Ralph Vaughan Williams be- came its first president, followed by Jaap Kunst, Zoltan Kodaly, Willard Rhodes, Klaus P. Wachsmann, Poul Rovsing Olsen, Erich Stockmann, Anthony Seeger, Krister Malm, and currently, Adrienne L. Kaeppler. In 1949, the Council was one of the Founding Mem- bers of the International Music Council - UNESCO, and is currently an NGO in formal consultative relations with UNESCO. Through its wide international representation the Council acts as a bond among peoples of different cultures and thus serves the peace of humankind. The AIMS of the ICTM are to further the study, practice, documentation, preservation and dissemination of traditional music, including folk, popular, classical and urban music, and dance, of all countries. To these ends, the Council organizes meetings, world conferences, study groups and colloquia. In addition the Council maintains a member- ship directory and supervises the preparation and publication of journals and bulletins. ICTM STUDY GROUP FOR MULTIPART MUSIC Short introduction Multipart music represents one of the most fascinating phenomena in numerous local musical practices. It has therefore been a favoured object of research for a long time, particularly in the national framework. Regional studies extending beyond political boundaries are, however, rare. A network of researchers, many of them ICTM members, was working since 2003, focusing first on multipart music traditions in Europe within the framework of the “Research Centre of European Multipart Music” established at the Institute for Folk Music Research and Ethnomusicology of the Vienna University of Music. Results of the research are presented in the books “European Voices I. Multipart Singing in the Balkans and the Mediterranean” (Vienna: Böhlau. 2008) and “European Voices II. “Cultural Lis- tening and Local Discourse in Multipart Singing in Europe” (2011). Fragments of the work had also been presented in panels at ICTM World Conferences (Sheffield 2005 and Vienna 2007). 6 All of this work served as the basis of the negotiations with the ICTM Board for the establishing of a Study Group on Multipart Music. The board reached a positive decision on the formation of the group in July 2009 after the ICTM World Conference in Durban, South Africa. The first Study Group symposium took place in Sardinia (Italy), between 15 and 21 September, 2010. MISSION STATEMENT The name of the organization is ICTM Study Group on Multipart Music. The Study Group is an appointed committee of the Executive Board of the International Council for Tra- ditional Music [ICTM Rules 1984: paragraph 8, article i]. The ICTM is a non-profit non- governmental international organization in formal consultative relations with UNESCO. The Study Group shall promotes multipart music through research, documentation, in- terdisciplinary and cross-cultural study and shall provide a forum for cooperation among scholars and students of multipart music by means of international meetings, publications and correspondence, intending a tight collaboration with local sing- ers and musicians also in the discussion processes. The Study Group may undertake such projects as are in support of its stated objectives, including, but not limited to, organization of Study Group symposia, and formation of sub-study groups. 7 Svanibor PETTAN (Slovenia) ICTM Secretary General Welcome address It is my pleasure and honor on behalf of both the International Council for Traditional Music and my own to express gratitude to Dr. Ardian Ahmedaja and to the entire joint Albanian and Austrian network of people involved in the organization of the second sym- posium of the ICTM Study Group Multipart Music in Tiranë and Vlorë. Judging from the program and from the success of the first symposium of this study group in Cagliari, Italy, in 2010, the forthcoming days will be marked by a remarkable scholarly event in the

The study of useful plants is an ancient discipline, but the term ethnobotany to indicate a sepa- rate and distinct branch of the natural sciences did not come into use until 1895. It is, by defini- tion, interdisciplinary, drawing from botany, medicine, anthropology, religion, religion, history, pharmacology, phytochemistry and conservation and the books we offer reflect this wide range of disciplines. Although simply listed alphabetically by author, there are many books related to the use of plants in Africa, Hawaii and the Pacific, Asia and the Americas, and others describing the use of psychoactive plants in ancient religions and modern times.

    A Dialogic Narrative Contextualisation of Liminal Identity

    European Scientific Journal September 2019 edition Vol.15, No.26 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 Conversion and Memory: A Dialogic Narrative Contextualisation of Liminal Identity Katica Kulavkova, PhD Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts (MASA), Republic of Macedonia Jasmina Ilievska-Marjanovic, BA Independent Researcher, Republic of Macedonia Doi:10.19044/esj.2019.v15n26p26 URL:http://dx.doi.org/10.19044/esj.2019.v15n26p26 Abstract Ethnic and religious conversion is deeply engraved in the history and memory of the Macedonian people, yet it remains a painful taboo subject. The paper is interested in the treatment of this topic in the New Macedonian Novel, which brought this problem from the collective unconscious into the public dialogue and shed light on its reoccurrence today. The analysis focuses on the novel The Book of Heavens (2000) by Krste Chachanski since it is equally representative of the topic of conversion to Islam in the Ottoman past, the poetics of the New Macedonian Novel, and the Macedonian dialogic and liminal identity. The Book of Heavens is set at the end of the 18th century in mountainous Macedonia, the forsaken Balkan periphery of the Ottoman Empire. It is centred around Adnan Pasha, the bi-religious and bi-cultural Janissary from Macedonia, his internal turmoil, and his quest for becoming the ethical warrior of his wilful choosing. The novel is a meta-historical and multi-voiced parable of dialogism and liminality in the context of human cognition, identity, and culture. But it is also a mythopoetic and magical realist saga for the ethical warrior, for the Macedonian tragically split and persecuted identity, for the syncretic civilisational borders and peripheries, and for protecting the palimpsest memory of human culture.

    Decoration from the House Snake Cult Belief System, As Evidenced In

    Decoration from the house snake cult belief system, as evidenced in... Decoration from the house snake cult belief system, as evidenced in Kosovan vernacular architecture Flamur Doli* Abstract This study investigates symbolic decoration arising from the house snake cult belief system, as evidenced in Kosovo's vernacular (popular) architecture. This snake cult certainly has its place among the most unusual and important cults within the survival of the belief system surrounding the protecting house gods in Albanian popular belief. Among the issues raised in this study, it is posited from the very beginning that because of their character and their symbolism, the decoration arising from the snake cult has always been applied in the most exposed places or elements of composition since its use had a magic function of protection and bringing good luck. Furthermore, the use of this ornamentation, particularly in the artistic form of bas-relief, is notable for a compositional structure which is in organic harmony with the architectonic and structural aesthetic concept of vernacular building, or its structural elements. To give as full a picture and as much evidence as possible of the use of decoration from the earth cult of the snake either as abstract geometric interpretation of it as a symbol, or as a realistic artistic interpretation, there is analysis of a fair number and range of Albanian ethnographic sites where this decoration is to be found. From the beginning of this study, it is shown that the snake cult is a part of the complex ethno-cultural heritage of our people. Taking a diachronic view, this cult has an uninterrupted history through the arc of time from the Illyrians to the Albanians of our own time.

Beatty, Director of Indian Education for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Department of the Interior, from 1937 to 1951. • • FOREWORD TO THE 1954 EDITION • • For a number of years the Bureau of Indian Affairs has sponsored the recording of typical Indian music throughout the United States. During this time approximately a thousand Indian songs have been recorded by Mr. Willard Rhodes, professor of music at Columbia Univer­ sity. The study originated in an effort to deter­ mine the extent to which new musical themes were continuing to develop. Studies have shown that in areas of Indian concentration, especially in the Southwest, the old ceremonial songs are still used in the traditional fashion. In the Indian areas where assimilation has been greater, Indian­ type music is still exceedingly popular. There is considerable creative activity in the development of new secular songs which are used for social gatherings. These songs pass from reservation to reservation with slight change. While the preservation of Indian music through recordings contributes only a small part to the total understanding of American Indians, it is nevertheless an important key to this understand­ ing.
